FACTS

PUTTS PER GIR

is defined as the average number of putts taken

per greens in regulation. If a golfer hits 12 greens out of 18 and

takes 21 putts on those 12 greens his Putts per GIR is 1,75 (21

putts divided by 12 greens).

AVERAGE PUTTS

is defined as the average number of putts tak-

en per round. The use of the putter from off the green does not

constitute a putt as far as the statistics are concerned.

PUTTING AVERAGE

in the PGA Tour category of Putting Lead-

ers, measures putting performance on those holes where the

green is hit in regulation (GIR). For these holes, the total putts

are divided by the total holes played. By using GIR we are able

to eliminate the effects of chipping close and one putting in the

statistics.
